I photographed this tree in 1964 during one of my visits to Yosemite. The original image was captured on Kodachrome II using an Alpa 6b. I photographed the slide with a Sony A200 with a Minolta 50mm f1.7 and a short extender. The image was post processed and totally desaturated. Ansel Adams photographed this tree many times but never included Half Dome as I did. The tree died in 1976 and was first photographed in the mid-eighteen hundreds.

P.S. Seeing you're a Sony DSLR shooter, what's your favorite lens? I need to get a fast prime somewhere in the 28mm - 50mm range for star pics. [/COLOR]
